Review Blitz: Branded by the Dragon Prince (Lords Of Fire & Ash) by Kiera Legend



Title: Branded by the Dragon Prince
Series: Lords Of Fire & Ash
Author: Kiera Legend
Release Date: 
January 29, 2024


Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, Game of Thrones, and Handmaids, this stand-alone, steamy, fantasy romance about a human girl and a dominant, dangerous, Dragon Prince is impossible to put down.

Onya doesn’t believe in dragons…

Old lore says that powerful dragons once created Andlang, ruling over it for thousands and thousands of years until man’s greed and cruelty destroyed it all. The dragons are long dead and gone, and now, her world is suffering. Crops are failing, livestock is starving, and the population is dwindling, making fertile women a precious resource—more valuable than gold.

Onya doesn’t believe in fate either…

While her friends talk of marriage and having babies, she dreams of running away. Of a life without the burden of a husband or a child. Not even the Gods can save her when a royal carriage shows up at her homestead, taking her to the Great House of Kings, where she’ll be made a Lady and marry a nobleman—hoping she’ll birth a healthy child.
And it is her duty to comply…
Except, she’d rather be a servant for the rest of her life than an obedient wife and mother. Scheming of ways to escape, Onya creeps around the fortress, only to discover that the golden-eyed, dangerous, chained man in the dungeons has a different plan for her.

Because dragons, and fate, believe in Onya…

Release Blitz & Review: A Game of Choice (A Forbidden Game #1) by Alisha Williams



Title: A Game of Choice
Series: A Forbidden Game #1
Author: Alisha Williams
Release Date: 
January 31, 2024


Tobias Monroe has never been just a step-brother to me. From the moment we met as little kids, he’s been my everything. My best friend, my protector, the person I could always rely on for anything.

As the years went on, our relationship developed into something more, something deeper than what was expected of us.

My stupid heart thought that one day, we would take that step over the line that both of us were tip toeing around.

That was until one summer I found him kissing another girl and my whole world crashed around me.

He never showed interest in anyone, giving me the impression he only wanted me. I guess I was wrong.

After that summer, he went off to University, joined the hockey team with his best friend Bishop and everything changed.

We drifted apart slowly, each of us forming lives without the other.

But now I’ve graduated and attending Silver Valley University in the fall. There's no way he can avoid me now.

I don’t know what changed that summer, what made me go from being his entire world to just his little step-sister.

But I intend on finding out. I want what we had back, I want what could have been. I will break him down, get the answers I need. And I’ll stop at nothing to get them.

This was such an addicting story. I love a good stepbrother romance as long as it is convincing and this book really captured my attention. 

I enjoyed this author's writing style. It was easy to read and easy to connect with. The author did a great job of packing the emotions into the story. The plot was definitely compelling.

These characters were relatable for the most part. Each character was distinct and had a unique personality. I loved the dynamics between the characters. 

I loved the bonds that the love interests had. I always love stories with polyamory representation and this one was very convincing. 

That cliffhanger really sent me into a tizzy. I truly hope the release date listed for book two is a placeholder and that the book will be released sooner. 

Overall, this was a well-written MFM romance that I couldn't put down. I am so eager to read the next book and I am also intrigued to know more about the series before this one since this is a second-generation story. 



I'm a 30 year old mama of 2. I LOVE to read and write. I'll read just about anything, but Reverse harems are my favorite!



Excerpt Reveal: The Reason I Married Him by Meghan Quinn

 


Title: The Reason I Married Him
Author: Meghan Quinn
Release Date: 
February 6, 2024


He proposed . . . and I said yes.
Normally a jovial occasion for a couple in love, but this proposal has a very different feel.
Because the man that I'll be calling my husband blew into town with one thing on his mind . . . to make my life a living nightmare.

So why did I say yes?

Well, because we both need something from each other.

Namely, I want the farm land he currently owns, and he needs a wife in order to inherit his family cabin in his grandfather’s will.

So as he so eloquently put it, my hand, for his land.

At first, I thought the idea was nuts.
Who really gets married out of convenience?
Apparently, I do.

And now we have to sell our relationship to the town. Meaning, we're holding hands, he's pinching my cheeks . . . upper and lower. We're even forced to share the one-bedroom guest house on the farm where his monstrous body is taking up a large percentage of the bed.

But we’re so persuasive about our farse, that now I’m starting to think he actually might like me. Especially when he grabs me by the wrist and teases the shell of my ear as he whispers, “Mine.”

I peek a look over at Wyatt, and he does the same. When our eyes meet, he keeps them locked for a few seconds before they drop to my mouth and back up again.

I do the same.

And when our eyes lock, I can feel it, this electric energy bouncing between us. It’s worrisome but also exciting. It shouldn’t be happening, but oh my God, I can’t stop myself from leaning into him, letting him touch me, stare at me, and make me feel unlike anything I’ve felt before.

He was right. I avoided him for a reason today, and that was because I felt something. Something toward him. Something I shouldn’t be feeling, but I can’t help.

I’ve grown accustomed to having him around.

I look forward to him holding me at night.

And I crave his witty comebacks that provoke an eye roll from me.

But tonight, tonight it feels different, and I don’t know why.

Tonight, it feels like something’s going to happen. Someone will break, and I just hope it’s not me.


Stella Hunter and Aaron Shedlock narrate in duet this sexy, marriage of convenience romance. THE REASON I MARRIED HIM will be released on February 6th in a live release on Audible!

Release Blitz & Review: Wild for You (The Wilds of Montana #1) by Kristen Proby

Wild for You by Kristen Proby is now live! 


Title: Wild for You
Series: The Wilds of Montana #1
Author: Kristen Proby
Release Date: 
January 30, 2024


From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes an all-new small-town series set in Montana, starting with WILD FOR YOU, an Age-Gap, Single Dad, Nanny, Grumpy/Sunshine romance!


Remington Wild is a single dad of two adorable kids, and as the oldest son of the Wild family, has recently taken over the Wild River Ranch from his father. Life is crazy, and he’s finally willing to admit that he needs help, and the sooner the better. He has no idea that the beautiful woman he sees every day at Bitterroot Valley Coffee Co. is the woman who would show up for the job.


Erin Montgomery couldn’t get out of Seattle fast enough. It’s not that she doesn’t love her big, loud family, but living in the big city just wasn’t for her. The minute she stepped foot in Bitterroot Valley, she knew she was home. She loves the slower pace, the friendly people, and her job at the coffee shop. Even the smoking hot grumpy guy who stops in every afternoon can’t put a damper on how much she loves small town life!


Thanks to car trouble, and her stubbornness when it comes to using her trust fund, Erin needs a second job and applies for the position of a part-time nanny. She’s surprised to find that it’s Grumpy himself who answers the door at the ranch, but Erin quickly learns that she loves his kids and the ranch, and it’s a no-brainer to take the job. She just has to remind herself to resist the sexy rancher and keep it strictly professional.


Remington is attracted to his younger nanny, and finds himself falling headfirst in love with her. He and his kids have never been happier, and he knows she is the perfect addition to their family for as long as she’s willing to stay. Hopefully forever.


But when secrets are exposed, one of which endangers his children, will their love survive? Or will it tear them apart?
